Works for
CleansingPeg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, Xanthan gumCleanses gently
“It contributes towards a softer, dewy appearance while sweeping away dirt and impurities to leave the skin plumper and more radiant.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
